As the sole writer of the classic “Love Is a Beautiful Thing,” recorded by Al Green and several others, and a co-writer of hits by Taylor Dayne (“Tell It to My Heart”), Michael McDonald (“Tear It Up”) and more, Seth Swirsky has bragging rights to a lot of airplay and legendary artist coverage. He had writing deals with Chappell Music (which became Warner-Chappell Music) and EMI Music as he honed his craft, writing melodic and emotional music that appealed to millions. Then he decided enough was enough.Swirsky tired of the staff songwriting and pop music rat races and decided to take the road less traveled as he pursued some other loves, namely, baseball and the Beatles. Swirsky has authored three successful books about baseball, and his video documentary Beatles Stories, which features interviews with people close to, and maybe not so close to, the Fab Four, will be available in the spring of 2012 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ signing with EMI.
